So I went through my personal supplies and found a hank of creamy white pearl seed beads (glass of course and made in the Czech Republic but the closest things to tiny real seed pearls that I had on hand). In my seed bead collection I found a tube of gold Charlotte beads #14, teeny little things, and with their silver lining they really sparkle. To this I added Czech glass 3 mm round beads in a white Opal finish, and some luscious Czech firepolished glass beads in a deep ruby or garnet red just for a splash of elegant color...but not too much color, must let the pearls and the gold stand proud. A search through my button collection found a package of gold tone buttons that I purchased years ago but never used. True the button isn't real gold, it isn't even metal, it's plastic but it has a lovely design to it and was made in Italy...that could explain why I liked them so much.
So what do you think...is this a Princess Bracelet or not ? And yes it is in my Etsy shop for the astronomical price of $12...oh am I going to get rich or what? LOL
I can definitely see the royalty... but what did your granddaughter think??
ReplyDeleteJust perfect for a princess of any age!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
Vicoria - I think she liked it but she was hoping that I would have made it small enough to fit her Barbie doll...no chance of that, I have beads nearly small enough. LOL
ReplyDeleteTeri - Thank you. I like the simple combination of the pearls, gold and then the splash of deep red. My granddaughter has good taste. :)
That is a bracelet fit for a QUEEN! How beautiful. OMG, you are so selling yourself short. If I were you, I'd sell it for more than $12, but that's just me :) Your hard work on such a beautiful piece is worthy of more!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful bracelet, and I agree that the price is too low for all the work.
ReplyDeleteMake Barbie a necklace instead, maybe?

ReplyDeleteHi Anna, that is truly beautiful. I am sure you could sell your work for way more, I agree with Aly.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Monday, T. :)
what a lovely idea - a princess bracelet! And so beautiful :-) Thanks for coming by my blog, and good luck with the giveaways. I feel another drawing is coming on real soon ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful and fit for a princess of any age! Your granddaughter is lucky!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blog comment...
ReplyDeleteThat bracelet is gorgeous! Can't believe you're only charging $12!!! For all of that bead weaving you should get twice as much or more out of your creations...
I don't know, if I were you I would seriously think about upping the price! But that's just my opinion ;)
Hope you have an Inspiring and Creative Day :)
